Essentials Racing Style Leather Gaming Chair - Ergonomic Swivel Computer, Office or Gaming Chair, Green (ESS-3085-GRN) My old Staples Torrent Car Chair finally bit the dust. I've had it 7 long years now, and decided to give this a try for several reasons, not the least of which is the amazing warranty. To give you an idea, the Staples chair only came with a limited 1 year warranty. This chair comes with a 4 year fabric warranty, and a 7 year warranty on the gas lift. Considering I had to replace my gas lift on the Staples chair twice in seven years, this is a great deal! I've attached photos showing the unpacking and assembly process. Some Tips: The bottom of the seat does not say "Front" on it anywhere. However, it has little R and L stickers. When you flip over the seat to attach the base, the R sticker should be on your left. When you flip it over to mount it on the chair after attaching the arms and the back, the R sticker will be under your right arm. The base has the word "front" written on it, and I had a hard time getting a picture because it's molded into the metal and I didn't have great lighting. When you are installing the base, you will have two smaller screws for the rear, and two larger screws (from the assortment in the parts packet in the pictures) to install it with. Do not get these confused. A pro tip: gently install the rear screws half way before installing the front screws, it keeps you from getting them confused. If you drop a screw, or by some unfortunate disaster are shorted a screw, fear not! The parts packet contains one extra of everything, so you won't be short after all. The chair lifts slightly higher than my old chair, which is great. has some resistance when leaning back, which is also good. The arms are a little stiff, but I attribute that to being new. The fabric is crisp, but the mesh might wear into your arms if you spend lots of time in the chair. So be prepared if you spend a lot of your chair time with bare arms on the mesh. This may change as it wears in. Assembly was fast and easy. The screw mounts were straight and even, easily seen and identified, and the arms fit into place just fine. Having assembled chairs for a living at one point, I can tell you that not every manufacturer makes sure for these steps. I strongly recommend this chair so far, and will let you know if that changes over the life of it.
